Dark Angels: Chaplain and others WIP


Finn

Recommended Posts

I don't like any of GW's chaplain models (ok, the one in terminator armor rocks). That's why I have decided to make my own. Before this one, I have never even touched green stuff :)

I like the pose and use of Dark Angel parts to bring the figure together.

 

The only criticism I have is that the green stuff looks a little thick - it's at least twice the thickness of the parchment. Then again I can't use green stuff myself.

(...)the facial expression of the helmet is kind of funny. He looks like he is angry becaus he doesn't understand what is written in the book. ;)

Hey, he's a chaplain, he's supposed to look pissed :P And better angry than drunk:

But to be honest, I can't think of a better head for a chaplain than this chaos berserker's helmet with rabbit ears shaved off. Unfortunately I don't have enough skill to resculpt the teeth in some more... loyalist way :)

I think that the teeth add to the whole "Chaplain is the epitome of His wrath on the battlefield" sort of thing. The whole look of the chaplain is to scare the hell out of those of weak will and His enemies, and if you put a feral twist on it, more power to you. Frankly, you could put a skeletal rabbit head on there and the pose would still make the mini awsome.

Hahahahaha! Oh sweet Emperor, I have not laughed that hard in weeks :P That SH pic is just perfect my friend. Thanks!

 

I really like the conversion, it really looks like he is preaching from the tome in his hand while pointing toward the enemy ( of course the text is about slaughtering your foe in the name of the emperor and the lion. )

My only negative thing is that I'd like the face on the staff to be facing inwards, mainly because that's the way it's held as a standard. But that is just a personal preference, each to their own :(

 

The greenstuff looks really good being your first, great job mate. All in all a solid piece well worthy of being a HQ choice :)

 

Now get some paint on this badboy!

 

Cheers!
